Glencoe Folk Museum - Holly Tree Hotel Lunch Voucher Voucher

Glencoe Folk Museum

Glencoe Folk Museum holds an eclectic array of objects celebrating local heritage and providing an insight into the history of the area and its people. 

The museum was founded by Miss Barbara Fairweather MBE, Mrs Rae Grant and friends in the 1960s. After entering a WRI competition which asked applicants to tell the history of their village, they realised that not much information had been recorded about daily life in the past.

Set within traditional 19th-century heather-thatched cottages, the Museum holds an eclectic array of objects celebrating local heritage and providing an insight into the history of the area and its people. The Museum is home to a unique array of objects including Jacobite relics, costumes, paintings, classic toys, photographs and domestic items from around the Glencoe area, as well as medals, uniforms and memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars.  

The Museum is currently closed for redevelopment. We are overhauling the Museum site to create a modern, fit-for-purpose space in which to share the rich history of Glencoe with visitors, while maintaining the much-loved charm of the current attraction. This project will protect and enhance the historic structures while working to secure our environmental and financial sustainability, ensuring the Museum continues to be a tremendous local asset for the next 50 years and beyond.​
